“In regard to the changes in the BT website, I have to tell you that I like the old website a lot better. You could just read the paper better. I really miss the old website.”

“Barry Kaufman’s Funday Monday column is a waste of newsprint and paper. He has a very warped sense of humor.”

CIVIL WAR

“It’s sad to see that on the 150th

anniversary of the Civil War so many still think it was about slavery. President Lincoln didn’t go to war with the Confederacy to get rid of slavery; he did it to reunite the Union.”

“One-hundred and fifty years ago today, we Southerners would like to ask for a re-do. No we don’t want to reinstitute slavery; we’d just like to run Yankees back up North where they belong. Speaking of the Yankees, let’s talk about the restaurant chain Nathan’s that opened with such rave reviews. Apparently the Yankees didn’t put their money where their mouth is because their northern food chain is now history in Bluffton.”

LOCAL TIDBITS

“On Monday, about 3 p.m., while I was in Staples they decided to test the fire alarm. After over five minutes of fierce splitting sirens I became deaf in one ear; a condition which did not clear up for over an hour. Why did they choose 3 p.m. for such a test when there were many customers in the store? If they had any consideration for their customers they could have done this test after closing time.”

“Bluffton is run by a bunch of idiots. Why don’t you finish the work on one road before you start working on another road? I see Burnt Church is all torn up now. This is ridiculous.”
